Clockwork Grapefruit

Ultraviolent,
this horrorshow familiar
spills red, red kroovy.


An attack familiar. A 10 pound clockwork grapefruit does around 9-17 damage each turn. It also causes all the fill-in-the-blank body part references (i.e. "You drop your kentucky-fried meat sword on your (BLANK)") to change to Nadsat slang from A Clockwork Orange.

Hatchling: unwound clockwork grapefruit

Familiar equipment: false eyelashes

The Cake-Shaped Arena weakness: Obstacle Course

lucky Tam O'Shanter message: Clockwork Grapefruit delivers one last powerful kick, and grabs a little more cutter, O my brothers.

miniature gravy-covered maypole message: O, my brothers, Clockwork Grapefruit fillies around the maypole like a real grazhny malchikiwik.

wax lips message: O, my droogies, Clockwork Grapefruit grins a real horrorshow grin with his wax goobers.
